Here is a photo of the very large cemetery on Lapowa in Lublin during “All Souls Day” on November 1st. In a place where many find ominous or sorrowful, it is quite a beautiful and joyous occasion in Poland. Like in the U.S., “All Saints Day”, it is a day to remember and celebrate the lives of family and friends who are no longer with us.
A wider view of the cemetery during “All Souls Day” on November 1st in Poland. The 100s of illuminated candles create an over-exposed yet interesting view of this important holiday.
